You're not alone, mate. I'm really disappointed by Skream's new one - pure wobble, and none of the really catchy melodies/basslines he used to write.

Not too bothered about the wobble being omnipresent really if it's done well. I'd like to hear more hooks though as sometimes hearing a mix set it all seems to blend into one (which may be the point, but I don't get it). Thing I'm starting to miss is tunes that are more distinguishable from others if that makes sense. All underground scenes seem to struggle with this though, seen as to pop if there's anything that hints at a more mainstream structure, even if it's good.

Check the sub fm ruffage mix from last night when it's up - good varied styles on offer there.
Hmm....

What about Lose Control, inspector? That one's HEAVY. Melodic, and not a wobble in sight. Sub-tastic.

Plus it's got tie fighters in it.
:d:

Wobble should be restricted to Rubber Chicken, Blipstream, Strawberry Jelly with Vanilla Ice Cream and fat people's chins.

Yeah, you're right. For some reason I didn't notice that one. My apologies.

there's shitty wobble tunes and there's shitty non-wobble tunes, there's good wobble tunes and there's good non-wobble tunes.

all depends on the individual track really

on more and more of the mixes I listen to, it seems that alot of producers are already moving away from that type of sound.

check out the likes of various productions for some original/creative use of the wobble. Don't hate the wobble, hate the people who abuse it...

i don't get this hating on wobble or any aspect of the sound (e.g halfstep) for that matter. Not every tune has to reinvent the fucking genre. If it makes my head nod then i'm into it. end of. 8)
is it?

NO.

Skreamizm 3.
Christ, never thought id see a post about skreamizm 3 that wasnt something along the lines of "shit the bed, bit of mash and gravy and it would be 24 inches of pub classic".

...on a slightly more serious note though, i really dont have a problem with it. No matter how many wobblers there are, they still make me absoloutely fucking lose it live. And as far as im concerned thats pretty much the point. (Im not saying non-wobblers dont make me 'lose it' as much as wobblers, but im not going to dismiss a tune for being wobbly. If its big, its big.)
